    “Distance learning has placed enormous pressure on both students and teachers and this is especially true of those in underrepresented communities who often lack access to sufficient support systems and resources,” said Rose Stuckey Kirk, Chief Corporate Social Responsibility Officer, Verizon. “Providing these new opportunities for educators and students supports our long-standing commitment to increasing skill building and advancing tech equity in education across the U.S.”

    Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program provides 1:1 devices, access and professional development to teachers in Title I schools, providing tools that are vital to helping under-resourced students succeed. The program is now expanding to include a new model for schools that already have 1:1 device programs, with Verizon providing hotspots equipped with a 30GB 4G LTE monthly data plan for students who have a school-issued tablet or laptop but lack reliable home internet access. The new model will also provide educators with timely, relevant professional development opportunities through Teacher Training Pathways to better implement technology integrated instruction. Applications are now being accepted by Digital Promise from districts with Title I schools across the nation.

    “Now more than ever, it is imperative that our students have reliable access to the internet at home so that they are able to not only complete their homework, but also connect to their school community,” said Lydia Logan, executive director of the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools initiative at Digital Promise. “This new option under the Verizon Innovative Learning program will provide hotspots to students who need access the most so that their learning never stops.”

    These initiatives build upon Verizon’s efforts to help under-resourced communities bridge the digital divide. Since 2012, Verizon Innovative Learning has helped to close the digital divide by providing 450,000 students in Title I schools across the country with connectivity, technology and an immersive STEM curriculum, investing over $535M in market value towards STEM education. The Verizon Distance Learning Program, developed in response to Covid-19 to provide reliable, affordable Internet connections and solutions, is now available for more than 38 million students across 40 states and the District of Columbia. Verizon is committed to creating a digitally inclusive and equitable society, helping more students than ever stay connected and thrive in today's virtual learning environment.
